Strawberry Cobbler
Traditionally I think of cobbler as a dessert but with the addition of a little oatmeal and Bisquick I think this recipe could easily be used as a breakfast treat! I pair this cobbler with my favorite bourbon vanilla ice cream.
Betty Lane's Crispy Waffles
My Grandmother and her sister Betty cooked these perfectly crisp waffles for breakfast or a simple dinner. They always had the ingredients on hand to whip up a quick batch. I think the real secret of this recipe was their old fashioned waffle irons. I don’t know the name or the brand but I know they were heavy. Not the light-weight non stick versions of today..
Mango Salsa with Cinnamon Sugar Chips
Fruit salsa is the perfect summer dish. I love the vibrant colors and bold flavors. I worked in a little café fresh out of culinary school. One of their specialties was mango salsa. Our 80 year old delivery driver Mr. Jerry kept a close eye on the salsa production. He made sure…
Rustic Strawberries and Cream Tart
Each year I anticipate the first crop of strawberries. I know the arrival of spring is near when those precious red berries appear at the local farmers market. My Mother makes a delicious, traditional strawberry pie. I wanted to create a new take on an old favorite. The recipe below isn't fancy but its pretty in a rustic way…
Country Cabbage
One pot meals are my favorite! Just throw everything in and out comes a fabulous meal with minimal dishes to wash! This hearty cabbage stew is perfect for a chilly winter night, and like most soups, stews, and sauces this recipe gets better after it sits. I made a heaping pot on a Friday and my husband and I ate it the entire weekend! Pair with a wedge of sweet cornbread for sopping, and enjoy a great meal without being tied to your stove top for hours!
Kitchen House Sweet and Spicy Dove Breast
I have eaten dove many different ways. I love them all! My Mama’s fried dove with rice and gravy is probably my favorite meal. She makes the absolute best gravy. Her gravy is a milk gravy laced with pan drippings, onion, and bacon. My mouth is watering just thinking about those golden brown birds glistening with gravy!
Mini Buffalo Burgers with Gorganzola Sauce
These spicy little burgers are a perfect game day treat. Why are mini burgers so much fun? Baby burgers are cute, easy to eat, and you don't feel too guilty if you eat multiples. Trust me, you will want to eat more than one! The hot sauce adds a subtle kick and the buttery ritz add great flavor and help bind the burgers. Don’t be afraid of the gorgonzola sauce. I tested this recipe with 3 self proclaimed bleu cheese haters…
Toffee Banana Bread
Toffee Banana Bread is the perfect way to use over ripe bananas. Delicious for breakfast or even an after dinner sweet treat this recipe is super easy!
Cajun Potato Salad
I love potato salad. Actually, I love any kind of potato: baked, fried, scalloped, boiled. I love them all!!! This recipe didn't start with potatoes. I grabbed a bottle of Cajun mustard because I was intrigued by the texture and color of the whole grains. I knew rich flavor would come from that little bottle! I experimented with using the mustard in sauces and thought it would be the perfect ingredient in the dressing for a rich and complex potato salad…
